Larry Nevers, the former Detroit police officer convicted in the 1992 beating death of Malice Green, has died, Macomb Township officials confirmed.

Nevers, a Macomb Township resident, is the husband of township Trustee Nancy Nevers.

Larry Nevers and his police partner, Walter Budzyn, were convicted originally of second-degree murder for killing 35-year-old Malice Green outside a Detroit “crack” house in 1992. The convictions were later reduced to manslaughter.
